Abstract

A general reduction in the organic acid contents of leaf, petiole, stem and buds of diseased plants was observed. Ascorbic acid contents of different tissues exhibited a reduction. The absence of malic acid and citric acid in diseased leaves and petioles respectively was observed. Accumulation of citric acid and succinic acids respectively in stem and root of the diseased plants was noticed. The rate of respiration was increased in diseased plants. The increase in the rate of respiration was noticed throughout the day.
